A recently developed product from a recently formed company is an electric-drive van, with shuttle-bus versions now in production and cargo vans available. It’s called the Zenith 350 for its 3,500-pound payload capacity.

Chrysler’s Ram brand has an entirely new truck and two new engines just entering the market, and work-oriented customers might find them to be terrific tools. The new truck is the ProMaster full-size van, and the engines are the large-displacement 6.4-liter gasoline V-8 for Ram Heavy Duty models and compact 3-liter diesel V-6 for the Ram 1500 pickup.

The new 2014 Ram ProMaster is Ram Commercial's latest addition to its commercial vehicle lineup. ProMaster takes its place in the expanding, purpose-built, full-size van segment with a number of best-in-class features focused on the commercial customer.
